How to get your brain in order in thirty days or less.

OR

HOW to stop seeing the smoke and mirrors and find what the hell those things are hiding.


Truth be known, I haven't the foggiest clue how to teach someone to think for themselves: At least not in 30 days or less. Sometimes the whole picture is not needed to come to a conclusion. Just for the record, its called intuition. Old timers called it Common Sense. I prefer to call it an Educated Guess.

In order to 'see the light' you have to educate yourself. That means stepping out of your comfort zone and reading! And more than likely some REALLY BORING HIGH FALLUTIN LONG WORD BOOKS!!!!

Heres one I keep handy. Its not one you can just sit down and read but,,,,
IF you do, remember this, you are looking into the mind of what has manipulated this country since 1797 when Hamilton and Madison directed the drafting of the Constitution. Wait until you find out what a 'legal fiction' is and just how it effects you. If that doesn't piss you off, Well, you may be numb.

Here is another one I keep around. Despite the title, its actually quite neutral.(here is a link to a site on the revolution's characters and quotes thereof. )

Another point on history is the venerable "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". Long read but the parallels to our current world are startling to one that ignored history classes in High School. (Which I did not. That was the start of my 'awakening') Pay attention to the "Bread and Circuses" points, then think about our Welfare system, Food stamps and then watch a week of Prime Time "entertainment". I don't think I would need to 'quote facts' at that point unless you have the IQ of my shoe size. (and I have small feet for a guy that is 6')

Good articles on the differences between Keynesian Economics and true Free market enterprise are available at the Mises Institute. They also have some pretty good political commentary that reflects why our world, not just our country, is in for a long Endarkenment. As Billy says "at the bottom of every stack of paper in our Govt, lies a loaded .45". And I don't want to have to explain that one. Like the Jeep thing; you either get it, or you don't.

NOW, onward to one more Item of interest, to enlighten my thorn.
Human Nature.

Study it all you want, but keep in mind one key point: Humans are animals first and foremost. We hide it well with all the trappings of society and civility, but at the basest core, we are driven by the same things that drive the rest of the animals in this world. The need to procreate, which is a driving force for many different aspects of our lives. The need to protect our offspring (and this one is debatable but has many facets that are seen in the wild, emulated in human reaction) and that when cornered, just like a mamma cat, we will react VIOLENTLY. Being cornered can be recognized as many things. Actually being pushed into a corner where the only escape is towards your aggressor. OR, having your livelihood disappear threatening your existence and the existence of your progeny. When that point happens, societal morals, unless firmly entrenched, will go the wayside. As can be seen by the larger loss of morals in our 'representatives', morals are hardly "FIRMLY ENTRENCHED" any longer. Take a walk through a ghetto in Detroit at night for a lesson in "Street Morals" if you dare.


As for my last word dump, study up on a couple of things.
One: Why is the Dollar the "basket currency" currently in the world (and teetering on the edge of oblivion FYI )
Two: What happened to the Wiemar Republic (and why was it called Wiemar and not Germany, but I digress)
Three: What happened in 2001 in Argentina? Could it happen here? (I know but do you?)
Four: run a thought experiment in your head. What would happen if over the course of, oh for sake of argument, 6 months, if fuel went to $10 gallon. Don't just think locally either, think System wide. Deliveries of everything, food, medicine, basic Safety issues, like fire departments and the police. Top this off with Local Governments that are already cutting basics to meet budgets that continuously run in the red. (Cincinnati for example)

Then think about race. Is there really racial harmony in this country? Seriously answer that, as I am not playing by asking it. Yes, I have friends from other races other than white/Caucasian. That is, believe it or not, NOT racial harmony; those are called friendships. Broaden the picture to communities and think about it.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. The clock is ticking and has been gaining speed since about the time Argentina went into default in 2001. Some would argue with me that it started picking up the pace in the 80's. It's more of a moot point, rather like picking nits at this point. The direction we are headed in is getting narrower and narrower as time goes by. Soon we will hit that point where trying to turn will only drive more surface area into the iceberg making the fall that much damaging.

Go, educate yourself, open your eyes, stop believing the unicorn farts and rainbows of the media and PTB. They DO NOT have your better interest at heart, no matter how much they say otherwise.
